What is recorded here

Situated on a S-facing slope down to the N bank of a small SW-NE stream and on the W side of a minor N-S road. There is a fragment of wall (L 1.4m; H 1.45m; T 0.6m) within a rectangular walled graveyard (dims 36m N-S; 26m E-W). This is the remains of the Roman Catholic church depicted as a T-shaped structure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and described as a thatched chapel ‘53ft by 24ft by 8ft high’ (c. 16m x c. 7m x c. 2.5m) which was ruinous in 1838 (Gallogly 1993-4, 432). There is no record of, or indication of, an older structure.
